▶ Your Answer : It is of great worth to discuss which should a teacher teach students self-confidence or definite knowledge. while some people might agree with this statement, other might disagree with it. As far as I am concerned, I believe that the former argument is justifiable in terms of motivating students and making positive attitude for them. First of all, the confidence is one of the most motivating things. This is mainly because the students who are confident are more likely to behave actively. For example, when I was elementary school, I was a very timid student. But, the teacher always complimented me whatever I did. And I am able to do many things, having confidence. Without the teacher's compliment to enhance my confidence, I could not have changed my passive behavior. This indicates that making confidence for students is best method to motivate them to learn. In addition, making confidence for students enables the student having positive thinking about themselves. This is mainly because confidence is related with self-esteem. According to a survey conducted by Korean infant incorporation, more a child has confidence, more he has good image of themselves. This figure means that confidence and self-esteem is very related factors of one person. And, it also enabled the students to solve the problem that they would encounter. This indicates that health confidence caused having high self-esteem of students. To summary, I strongly agree that teacher trying to making the students have high self-confidence because of method of motivating or making good self-esteem. |
